More than a decade after throwing her first gathering of actresses of color, Alfre Woodard’s annual bash has become part of her living legacy.
An invite to the intimate gathering is a coveted one, with the event growing in size over the years — Woodard has a running guest list of 40 black actresses and says that around 25-30 are able to join the party each year, factoring in travel and work commitments. “If all 40-something ever come, I’ve got to find a bigger budget and a bigger house,” she laughed.And though the venue has changed over that time, the primary mission of the event has stayed the same.
“We’ve been talking about what we want it to look like. We want to feel like we’re trying to, we’re getting a treatment for it and we have rehearsal I think tomorrow night or the next day. Um, we’re working to make it a special moment. I really wanted to feel special; win or lose, I want people to be lifted when they hear it and to feel good when they hear this song.”
